The President On Single Payer

Yesterday in New Hampshire,
“I have not said that I was a single-payer supporter because, frankly, we historically have had a employer-based system in this country with private insurers, and for us to transition to a system like that I believe would be too disruptive.

And I would be concerned about the potential destructiveness of that kind of transition.”
